crispy egg sambal

I was bored with the usual egg curry, i used to make every fortnight and decided to do something different with egg. So this is what I ended up with and I am planning on trying the following with different gravies until I am bored... If you have tried something similar, please share your recipes too!

Ingredients -

Eggs - 4

Onion - 1 big cut length-wise ( i think small onions will suit this gravy best. I didnt have any at home!)

Tomato - 2 medium cut fine

Red chilly - fresh or dry (a good cupful, this is the only spice, so be generous)

cilantro - a bunch

pepper corns - 5 to 6

garlic - 1 pod

Procedure -

1. Make a thick, sufficiently crispy omelet with the eggs ( I used just the egg whites to keep it healthy). Add a tbsp of milk while beating the eggs to make the omelet fluffy. Dribble some pepper powder and salt in the omelet mix. Cut the omelet into 1 inch cuboids.

2. Saute the onions until golden brown.

3. Add the tomatoes and keep it in low flame.

4. In the meanwhile beat the garlic, red chilly, peppercorns and cilantro into a semi-fine paste.

5. Once the tomatoes are cooked, add this red chilly paste.

6. Add salt and enough water to form a gravy and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes.

7. Once the gravy thickens, add omelet pieces to it.

8. Mix the omelet with the gravy and take care not to break it. ( the thicker the omelet, the easier to mix )

9. Let it simmer for not more than 5 minutes.

Serve it hot with Phulkas or Sambol or rice. Tastes best when eaten immediately!

For those who dont eat egg, I think the gravy should go well with tofu! :)

Note: Sambal and Sambol were names I picked from a Srilankan book.

Sambal is any gravy made from red chilly.

Sambol is a easy rice dish that is had with spicy curries.

* Beat 5 to 6 small red onions, 2 to 3 garlic pods, couple of red chilles and few green chillies into a crunchy paste.

* Fry this mixture with little oil until the raw smell leaves it.

* Add a handful of coconut to this sauteed mix and fry till its golden brown.

* Add salt and mix it with a cup of cooked rice.

In the original version, along with coconut, dry fish is also added.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Dont forget to mail me the miles...

Every mile counts!! :)
